Miles & More
Star Alliance · Points · Annual qualifying period — points accumulate across the full year.
Elite tiers
| Tier | Points required |
|---|---|
| Frequent Traveller | 650 |
| Senator | 2,000 |
| HON Circle | 6,000 |
Frequent Traveller needs 650 Points of which at least 325 must be Qualifying Points (earned on Lufthansa Group airlines); Senator needs 2,000 Points (≥1,000 QP). HON Circle uses a separate points currency (premium-cabin Lufthansa Group only). Miles & More status earning is a FLAT points award per flight, set by just two things — cabin and whether the flight is continental or intercontinental (Economy 20/60, Premium Economy 20/80, Business 40/200, First 40/400). The booking class is only an eligibility gate: it decides whether a flight earns at all, never how much. Re-confirmed at miles-and-more.com, Aug 2026. Star Alliance flights earn Points but NOT Qualifying Points or HON Circle Points — only Lufthansa Group and co-issuing partners (Austrian, Brussels, Croatia, Discover, Eurowings, ITA, LOT, Lufthansa City, Luxair, SWISS, Air Dolomiti) earn all three — so the sub-minimum above cannot be met on partner metal.
